Rachel Bilson Puts Baby Plans on Hold

Rachel Bilson is torn on her motherhood dreams because part of her wants to quit acting altogether once she becomes a mum - but she insists she couldn't walk away from a hit TV show.

The former The O.C. star, who has reconciled with former fiance Hayden Christensen, admits she has always dreamed of starting a family - but shedoesn't want to be a career mum.

However, just as she started getting broody her TV career took off again with hit new U.S. show Hart of Dixie - and now she has a personal dilemma.

The 30 year old tells Nylon magazine, "I've always wanted kids - it's sort of like an obsession, but I want to do it right, where I don't have to work. "I've heard the stories, and I know it's possible.

"I don't know if I want that, though.I'm not sure if I want to continue to work when I have kids.

"But if the show really takes off, I don't think I want to wait too long to have children, either.

"You have to weigh up your options. I'll figure it out when I get there.

"I'm a firm believer that everything will fall into place and it will all work out".
